Break the egg into it, add a little water at a time (in my situation 1\/2 cup was enough). Bring the dough together, kneading well and adding more flour or water as necessary. Cover the dough and let it rest 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>On a floured work surface, roll the dough out thinly (1\/8\u201d or as thin as you can go) cut with a 4-inch round or glass. Spoon a portion (tablespoon will be the best) of the filling into the middle of each circle. Fold dough in half and pinch edges together. Gather scraps, re-roll and fill. Repeat with remaining dough.<\/p>\n<p>Bring a large, low saucepan of salted water to boil. Drop in the pierogi, in a single layer in the pan. Return to the boil and reduce heat to medium. When the pierogi rise to the surface, continue to simmer a few minutes more (usually about 5 minutes), until they&#8217;ve started to puff out.<\/p>\n<p>Toast in a toaster oven at 375F for 10 minutes or until puffy and light brown.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Shown here served with a fruit dip (2 parts yogurt, 2 parts cream cheese, 1 part confectioner&#8217;s sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Just.
